These Days

I think i was better off before this all began
So clearly i can see lately that you don't know who i am
Everybody tried to tell me something that i never could believe
Stand back it seems so much different than it did in front of me

Why should i put my trust in something that i never could believe
So one day you can find something better just to pack your things and leave
Loneliness is a friend for the moment but you won't walk out on me

I'm tired and I'm sick of waiting
Maybe I'll die alone
'cause i can't take another damn day
Of waiting here for you to come home to me

I think I'm better off alone
These days...

Pages

She spills her heart on a page and
She watches words flow away then
Her feelings lie on the page alone
There waiting
For someone who cares to read them
To open their eyes to see them
To see if they can make her thoughts their own
To find out that maybe your life's not perfect
Maybe it's not worth what she gives away

What happens to a soul when
It's trapped inside her emotions
And all of these words she's spoken
They bind her to the life she's left behind
And every new step she takes
She knows that she might not make it
To all of these dreams that she has yet to find

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain, watch me fall apart...
